It is traditionally thought to be bad luck.
In real life, there might be a slight danger from objects and materials (e.g. paint) falling from above.
Answer 2: Superstitious people believe that it is very unlucky, as is a black cat crossing your path and walking on cracks in the road and breaking a mirror, but I have done all these things and I'm pretty lucky.
Answer 3: A long time ago, a triangle was considered a symbol of life. A ladder leaning against a wall creates a triangle. So back then, walking through any triangular shape was considered tempting your fate. The triangle may also symbolize the Holy Trinity =]

∙ 14y agoThat's right. It is believed that if you walk under a ladder, you will have bad luck. I have done it many times and some good things and some bad things took place. It is pretty much unsolved why LADDERS are believed to be bad luck and nobody really knows whether it's true. Some people believe it and some don't. It definitely depends on the person. You should try an experiment: Maybe you should go and walk under a ladder every week and see if you have bad luck. You can record it on paper and try to solve it.
